Has anyone purchased a cabin cover for their aircraft. I'm in the 

process of searching for a cabin cover, and cowl plugs, and I'm looking 

for feedback.

I have Bruce's Covers on my Cherokee.  They've been on the ramp going on 4

years now.  The colors just started fading this year, but they still work

just find.

Which color do you have, and would you change colors if you had to do it 

again?

Bruce will use trim colors to match your paint.  My trim is red and blue.

Total trim space is less than a couple square feet, so it's not really a

large area.  Most of the cover is a natural tan color.  He has good pictures

on his web site.   It's been on the ramp for almost four years, so I'm not

disappointed that the colors are now just starting to fade.  I am happy with

the purchase.

Sam,

  

 I purchased my cabin cover and cowl plugs from  Bruce's Custom Covers and I am very happy with the product. They put my N number  on the cover and cowl plugs. 

 They do very high quality work IMHO.

Thanks for the info, very helpful.

Has anyone bought the Van's cover for the RV10, it's a lot less expensive?

For those who just want a lightweight cover for traveling,

not one for leaving it tied down for weeks and months,

Abby at Flightline Interiors http://www.flightlineinteriors.com/

has a good lightweight travel cover that fits in a small bag.

Cleaveland Tool also sells a light cover. http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RVCC10

 I have a sample of the fabric. Interesting stuff, it looks like a light weight tent material. It's slick enough dirt and grit shouldn't get imbedded in it (this is what kills windows.) Water does not penetrate it but appears to be very breathable. Also asked about long term storage outside and was told they have customers using the covers on RV stored outside for several years and these customers are happy with the covers. This is the cover I'm planning on starting with as my hanger is covered but open.

I have both Bruce's cover and Abby' cover and I use Abby's cover 95% of the time. 

Since I always keep my plane hangered I typically use a cover for overnighters.  

Bruce's cover is heavy and very bulky but is much better if you were going to leave your plane outside.  

If it is just the two of us and I have plenty of room and useful load, I take Bruces.  But most of the time room is an issue and Abby's cover is so light and easy that I always have it in the plane.  



So if your mission is just overnight or weekends, Abby's may be the better way to go. 

It has a reflective (silver) outside to keep the cabin cool.  



I also have Bruce's cowl plugs and they work great.  You can get them customized with your N-number as well.
